    The pilot for The Crossing is reminiscent of "Lost" and "Wayward Pines," signaling great potential for the new series.

    My curiosity is sufficiently piqued, so I'll be tuning in for episode 2--prepared for disappointment, but hoping for something a little less predictable. [30 March 2018, p.42]

    Did anyone else catch that the plot is identical to Hulu,s Future Man....but this story is “serious”? I had to laugh when I heard about theDid anyone else catch that the plot is identical to Hulu,s Future Man....but this story is “serious”? I had to laugh when I heard about the Apex vs. regular human war/genocide angle. I’m willing to tune in for a few more episodes......the story has promise. I’m just hoping they break out of some of the stereotypical writing/acting the premiere gave us. At this point - a solid “C”.… Full Review »
